My Outdoor Office

When the weather cooperates, I hate and I mean HATE to stay in the house.  Although I prefer lounging surfside with a good book and some sand between my toes, I make do with what I have.  Every year I spend countless hours outside with my laptop.  When the kids nap, I take this opportunity to catch up on things and get a bit of work done.

This is one of the three spots that I use.

Today I am sitting here because I have a large quantity of photos to go through from the weekend and since I am just sorting and tagging (as opposed to doing any editing) I prefer to sit under the canopy in the lounging chair with my coffee and water and the sounds of the birds chirping in the trees.  The canopy gives me just the perfect amount of diffused light on my flat screen so I don’t get any reflections and can sit here and enjoy the great outdoors.  If I were doing any editing, I would suck it up and take it inside but for now I can enjoy this gorgeous day.

And as you can see I have extra seating if need be.  Grab your laptop and head outside!  That was the first reason I ever got one.

To see what I have been up to be sure to stop by my photography blog.

    I just might stop by one of these days! We were just talking last night about how we’d love to visit our friends in Ottawa sometime soon…and now you’re on the list too. 🙂

    Wonderful! Looks perfect. It’s great to have an outdoor “room” to relax in and all the sweeter when you can’t enjoy it year round. I’ll bring the brownies and be right over. 😉

    That is the best outdoor office I have ever seen 🙂 I love it!! I will be sure to stop by one afternoon with my laptop and sit right next to you. Maybe we can serve up some margueritas or something too!!
